Some properties of ruled surfaces under homothety in \(E^3\) (Q1848709)

It is known that if \(f:E^3\longrightarrow E^3\) is a homothety and \(\varphi\) is a surface in three dimensional Euclidean space \(E^3\), then \(f(\varphi)= \overline{\varphi}\) is also a surface in \(E^3\). In this paper, the surface \(\varphi\) has been taken a ruled surface and it was shown that the image surface \(f(\varphi)=\overline{\varphi}\) has been a ruled surface, too. The authors investigate also whether some properties related with ruled surfaces on \(\varphi\) have been invariant under the homothety \(f\) or not.
